I bought the car 2 1/2 years ago. My driver and passenger doors were fine and weren't warped. A 1,000 miles after my door panels and my center consel under dash is warped also. Dodge dealership won't fix the issue as I'm out of my basic warranty even though this is a manufacturer defect. I called Dodge headquarters and they won't fix the issue either without paying a $1000 or so per door panel. I'm very upset about this. Apparently from reading online it's a known issue for Chargers between 2014-2016 I think. Per dealership they said at the beginning of 2019 Dodge is coming out with version 2 door panels but will need to by them

The drivers side heating vent blows cold air. The cold air completely fogged over the drivers side windshield so you can't see out. Had to bend over and look out the passenger side. Dodge has had this problem far too long, involving all models, and needs to make a fix. Very dangerous while driving down the road.

4/6/2018 while driving on interstate 44 driving at 65 mph traveling East toward St louis mo our sunroof exploded. Sounded like a blown tire. The sunshade was closed and most of the glass blew outward. Very little glass was left. There was no reason for the sunroof to explode. Unknown reason. We were not driving under an overpass. It just exploded. We were lucky to have the sunshade closed and lucky that the flying glass did not hurt or hit the cars behind us. I keep my cool during problems. I just slowed down and pulled over about a mile later. However, I could see how it might startle some people into an accident. The car was 18 months old with 27, xxx miles. I baby my Charger srt and again, there was no reason. It is the car company's stand that there is no warranty on glass. Our insurance is paying for it, but we are out the deductible of $250. And, when I started this report I had to click on the area such as tires, engine ect. There is not an icon that says sunroof. I had to click "other". you need an icon for sunroof... I do have pictures. It is just a sunroof with a little glass around the edge still attached.
